The Price He paid for us going Our Own way

But he was pierced for our transgressions,    he was crushed for our iniquities;the punishment that brought us peace was on him,    and by his wounds we are healed.6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,    each of us has turned to our own way;and the Lord has laid on him    the iniquity of us all.  – Isaiah 53:5-6 (NIV) This prophetic passage foretold what the Lord Jesus […]

Doing good to all (not retaliating)

The Church should seek to do good in her relationships with all. Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:15: “See that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.” (NET Bible) What Paul is saying is that no one should take revenge. The […]

Haciendo el bien a todos (no el mal a ninguno)

La reacción natural de las […]

El rol de los miembros de la iglesia

Pablo insta y ruega a la iglesia de la misma manera que lo hizo en cuanto al trato hacia sus líderes que deben corregir y ayudar a los miembros que lo necesitan.

Esteeming our leaders

Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:13 urges the church not only to honor its leaders but to have them in great esteem and love. “and to regard them very highly in love because of their work.
